In the midst of the Winter months, we can all expect at least someone in our households to get caught a bit under the weather; that someone could even be yourself. With the weather getting colder and flu season in full swing it is important to stay warm and take care of yourself.
This is why when it comes to renovating your home, or simply upgrading your current flooring, it is important to look at flooring options that will ensure coziness in your home and have anti-allergy properties to prevent household illnesses from getting worse.
Probably the most popular flooring option that many families gravitate towards in the colder months is carpet. A good quality carpet will ensure a room stays warmer than a room with hard-wood flooring would by retaining heat, and will thus provide a warm and dry haven for you to escape from the cold of outside.
However, what scares most people away from carpet is the fact that many people believe they trap allergy-causing substances such as dust and pollen therefore triggering people’s allergies. This couldn't be further from the truth as if you stick to a natural wool or nylon carpet and regularly vacuum, those allergy-causing substances have no reason to stick around.
Natural wool carpet fibres are formed in a coil-like shape, which causes dust and moisture in the carpet to disperse away. This allows for allergy sufferers to enjoy the warmth and coziness of carpet, without the allergy driven consequences.
At D&M Flooring and Windows we can supply and fit good quality carpets that will ensure your house stays cozy during the colder months, while preventing allergy sufferers from getting hit harder.

Flooring is a big decision and not one to be taken lightly as after all, it is one of the biggest surface areas within the home.
Here are our 4 biggest tips to consider when choosing your floor colouring.
1 - Your room size.
Do you want to make your room feel larger? Opt for a lighter coloured flooring. If you are looking for more of a cosy or intimate space then have a look at darker finishes.
2 - What’s your mood?
Do you want a breezy, light filled, beach vibe? White or light timber finishes will be key here.
Would you like a contemporary feel, have you considered a black option for a sense of drama - a good drama of course!
Maybe you would like a classic theme, a simple dark wood / laminate could be perfect.
3 - Don’t forget your furniture!
If you are not investing in new furniture, it is very important to consider the existing colours you will be working with in your home. Do you have some special artwork you want to compliment? A sofa you just cannot part with? Keep these in mind when shortlisting you floor colouring.
Show us some pictures of your key items so we can help advise you on our complimenting colour options.
4 - It’s all in the lighting
Like your paint colours, your flooring can look different throughout the day. Ask us for some free samples to check how they look at different times of the day, with both natural and artificial light.
